you have 2 options.
1 - use your current amp. To do this you would need a multi-speaker splitter, like this one: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3198277
2 - add another amp. To do that you would need to either connect an RCA output from your current amp to an RCA input on your new amp, or just split the inputs going into your current amp using a cable like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102980

How do I connect more speakers to my amp than what it can already hold.
Is there an in line device I can purchase that will allow me to connect more speakers to my stereo system. My current amp is a Marantz SR9600 which has set up for 4 front speakers, 4 surround and 1 SW. I want to hook up another set of 4 speakers. Can this be done without putting additional strain on the amp. Maybe the purchase of another in line amp that will equip 4 more speakers, but how do you dock them together.

think you will have to buy a splitter, or make your own. plug cord from guitar (or whatever the source is) into splitter, plug splitter into amp and other speakers. that might now work cause the sound will need amplifying if its just coming from a guitar. you could get a cord to go from output of amp to input of speakers.

I agree, good answer but I've already identified I need a splitter. What I'm asking is what kind of splitter is going to take my signal from the amplifer and power up another set of speakers with the same signal. So if i'm playing a movie or music, I want it to send out a signal with separation to all 10 speakers.

i would say you need a cord from amp to new speakers. unless the speakers have a built in amp you wont be getting much sound from 'em

Random,
It reads to me like your saying to add more speakers matching the impedence to the amp, how can I do that if there are no open slots left. I'm looking for a device that will add additional speakers to a reciever that has no open slots left.

he wants to use all speakers at once, not select different ones each time.
I've been thinking between these two options you provided. If I was to use option 1 I would be putting more demand on the source system to drive an additional 4 speakers, that could be quite a strain on the system at high volumes. If i used option 2 it would power the second set of speakers independantly using an additional power amp. Isnt' that what multiroom option provides. If I connect RCA's through the multiroom out on the reciever into an additional powered amp, I'm assuming it would only send a signal with the informtion to the amp and not have to provide additional power, much like a powered subwoofer. Do you agree.
